I forgot my password to my Pinterest account!
I had a Pin It button on my old PC, so pinning was automatic and easy. Then I upgraded to a new laptop and after automatically logging in for so many years, I'd forgotten my password and no possibility that I tried worked.
No big deal, right? Just ask to reset my long-forgotten password and, voila, back in business.
I wish! I've tried numerous times over several months to reset my account without success. They email me an autolink to reset my password and instead it asks me to log in.
Seriously, Pinterest?
If I could log in, I wouldn't have asked to reset my password. Duh.
Yeah, I've tried to contact them for help. Pretty useless. No reply. (It makes me wonder if there are actual people working there.) It's pretty frustrating, mostly because it seems like it should be simple. Heck, asking to reset a password is probably the one thing most of us have in common!
I've even been willing to give up the effort I've put into my pins over the years and sign up for a new account. I'm willing to start over. There are so many images that I'd love to save for future inspiration. Foxes, felt animals, watercolor cows, doll clothes, marble shower stalls, trellises, wood mantels, rock retaining walls... But, no-ooo, trying to initiate a new account just takes me back into the "log in" rabbit hole.
Without logging in, I not only can't access my boards, I also can't browse freely through the wonderful ideas that others have pinned.
Enough is enough. I've officially given up on Pinterest and their horrendous customer service. Or should I say, disservice?
I've discovered that there are other options that are similar. I'm pretty sure I'll find something that makes me forget Pinterest ever existed. Maybe I'll even be able to recommend something new for others to try!
The internet hasn't beaten me yet. At least I'm coming closer to a new photo editor (maybe even a way to keep using Picasa 3). I can't wait until I can install a new Meadowsweet Cottage banner!
